Daftar Isi:
  • The materials, dimensions, and composition of sandwich composite components are important parameters that influence the sandwich composite strength. This paper discusses the effect of sandwich composite skin and core thickness bending strength. Bamboo was used as a core of sandwich composite panels. The length of the bamboo was varied by cutting it to 5 cm, 6 cm, and 7 cm. Bamboo was then arranged standing flanked by multiplex through the process of gluing with epoxy. The Multiplex as the skin was varied at 3 thicknesses i.e. 4 mm, 6 mm, 9 mm. The strength test of the sandwich composite was done by a three-point loading method. The maximum load and the specimen dimensions were used to calculate the composite bending strength. The effect of skin and core thicknesses against the bending strength was analyzed using the two-way ANOVA statistic method. Based on the analysis, it is found that the strength of sandwich composite bending is influenced by the skin and core thicknesses individually. While the skin and core thicknesses together do not affect the strength of the sandwich composite bending.
